Nourish PA: Chicken and Broccoli Ramen Stir-Fry

Ramen noodles are so tasty, and their dense, springy texture makes the perfect foundation for a takeout-inspired stir-fry! We start by cooking the noodles from packaged ramen, adding in some colorful vegetables, then making a delicious savory sauce with a ramen seasoning packet, a splash of soy sauce and some starchy noodle water. This makes a quick lunch or dinner, or make a double-batch to enjoy all week long.

Tip: Use the remaining seasoning packet to season soups, stews, vegetables, or even rice!
